First you wan to take off the Cluster cover( speedometer cover) . There should be 2 screws in the back covered by a liitle peice of plastics. Just pop those off the the screws should be right there. Take The cover off and then the actual speedometer. The screws for that are in plain sight. Just disconnect all the wires. Next take out the glove compartment. I think its 1 screw on each side.And finally on the sides of the dash there should be little vents.Theres a plastic screw take it out and just opp off the vents. theres gonna be a screw on each side take them out and there you go.

Oh you might wan to take off the steering wheel and switches(lights, wipers,turn signals) as seeing they could get in your way while taking off and putting back on your dash. If you don t know how to take off the steering wheel all you have to do is remove the plastic honda logo from the center of the steering wheel remove the nut and take off the wheel. Then Remove the plastic covers for the switches, theres 3 on the bottom ( you really only need to remove the front 2) and the top part snaps on. Then disconnect all the wires and your good.

I have a 91 but i dont think it matters. They should be the similar if not the same...If im wrong in any way someone correct me!!

You don't need to remove the gauge cluster to remove the dash, you just have to unplug the speedometer cable. You don't need to remove the glove box either. The dash is secured primarily by six bolts, there are the two on the ends, one in the top middle, one at the bottom middle, and then one more on each side, near the bottom corners. In my car I had to remove four plugs from the fuse box, that number may vary by model. If you follow the harnesses it should be obvious what needs to come out. I concur with the recommendation to remove the steering wheel.

The most PITA part of removing the dash is a little ground strap that is way up in the dash on the inboard side of the steering column. You'll also want to remove the three screws that secure the climate control, it can stay in the car.
